Only Mothers Know Her Gladness,
Says Mrs. Stokes, Happy at Verdict
By HELEN ELWOOD STOKES.
Now York, Nov. 10,—Nona but a
mother’s heart can know my Joy,
my happiness today.
A Jury of American men, who for
five weeks looked Into my very heart,
probed every secret of mv entire life,
has vindicated me -of the charges
brought against me by William Earl
Dodge Stokes, the man In whom my
trusting girlhood I believed would
love and cherish me through life.
But It Is not for myself I cared—
It has not been for personal motives
I have waged tho five-year fight,
ending today. My happiness, In this,
my happiest hour, la for my children.
Only a mother can realize drhat this
vindication means. None but a moth
er’s heart can fathom what It would
have meant for me, accused of un
faithful wifehood, to have been forced
to return to my babies, and In the un
derstanding years to come, answer
to them for the charge put against
me by their father.
Nqver, perhaps, has a woman—a
mother—been forced to suffer ns I
have suffered for five long years.
Surely no mother has been called
upon to fight as I have fought. My
life has been made a public record,
spread across the pages of the press
and the annals of five courts. The
picture my husband attempted to
draw of me wag In the hues of deep
est scarlet. He would have my babies
believe that their mother had been
unfaithful with men. almost without
number.
For the most part they arc men
whose existence I had never heard,
names I did not know existed. It
was a mania I had to fight.
Vengeance carried to the depths
where my name was linked with den
izens of Chicago's und' rworld, with
negro murderers In prison, with the
night life of cities from const to
cost. At the hour I lay near death
In a Cincinnati hospital my husband
was charging I was the life of a
gay pajnma breakfast party on Fifth
avenue, New York: at the hour my
second child was born he tried to tell
a jury I was visiting a secre t lover.
But all men are not alike. The
Jury, which heard every scrap of
evidence he could manufacture, has
proved that. My heart is fill'd with
happiness and gratitude today—
thankfulness to the thousands upon
thousands of mothers who have writ
ten ms during the five yeurg of my
fight, to the press which so nobly de
fended me. and to the Jury which
set me free—free, In the sense that
I can now go to my children, my
head erect, without a blush—my
motherhood without tarnish.
